Subject: [PATCH RFC V4 2/5] kvm hypervisor : Add a hypercall to KVM hypervisor to support pv-ticketlocks
Date: Sat, 14 Jan 2012 23:55:54 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120114182553.8604.41642.sendpatchset@oc5400248562.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120114182501.8604.68416.sendpatchset@oc5400248562.ibm.com>
Add a hypercall to KVM hypervisor to support pv-ticketlocks
KVM_HC_KICK_CPU allows the calling vcpu to kick another vcpu out of halt state.
The presence of these hypercalls is indicated to guest via
KVM_FEATURE_PVLOCK_KICK/KVM_CAP_PVLOCK_KICK.
Qemu needs a corresponding patch to pass up the presence of this feature to
guest via cpuid. Patch to qemu will be sent separately.
